Sweden History
Sweden emerges as the Kingdom of the Svear and Götar in the 11th century. Christianity was introduced in the later 11th century, Uppsala becoming the seat of the Swedish archbishop. Swedish kings, after their election, went on the Eriksgata, i.e. they visited Uppland, Södermannaland, Östergötland, Småland, Västergötland, Närke, Västmanland.
In the 13th century, Sweden began its conquest of Finland (the eastern border being pushed eastward, in wars against the Republic of Novgorod, and in the latter's succession, against the Grand Duchy of Muscovy, until 1611).
From 1395 to 1523 Sweden was part of the Kalmar Union, a dynastic union of Denmark, Norway and Sweden. As the union kings resided in Copenhagen, from 1433 onward Sweden rebelled and for most of the time administrated her own affairs. In 1523 Gustav I. Vasa reestablished Swedish independence. The Lutheran Reformation was introduced in 1527.
In the 17th century Sweden established the Dominium Maris Baltici, gaining Estonia (1583-1710), Livonia (1621-1710), Swedish Pomerania (1648-1815), Wismar, Stift Bremen, Stift Verden, Wildeshausen. From Denmark Halland, Skåne, Blekinge and Gotland were acquired, from Norway Bohuslän, Jämtland and Härjedalen, and annexed into the Swedish state. The era of Sweden as a major military power ended in the Battle of Poltava 1709, which brought with it the loss of much territory beyond the Baltic, to the Russian Empire.
In 1808 Sweden lost Finland to the Russian Empire; in 1815 it entered in a dynastic union with Norway, which was dominated by Sweden. Sweden entered on a long history of neutrality. In 1905 Norway declared independence. During World War I and II Sweden remained neutral. By 1900 regarded a poor country, Sweden developed into an affluent welfare state. In 1995 Sweden joined the EU.

Culture of Sweden
Swedish culture has been described as characterized by egalitarianism, statism, paternalism, and collectivism combined with openness to certain aspects of international culture. Lutheranism, trade unionism, and self-reliance are aspects that have been associated with Swedish mentality.
Sweden did not formally abolish slavery until the middle of the 14th century, but did not have serfdom in the Middle Ages and peasant freeholders constituted about 40% of the population and was one of four estates (together with nobles, clergy, and burghers) in the diet. The model for Swedish industrial organization has been the semi-feudal Bruk, a type of isolated pre-industrial communities.
Swedes work hard, pay high taxes, try to be open minded to other cultures(there is much immigration, which most people seem to accept), enjoy their traditions (around Christmas and Midsummer, for instance), but it is not true we should be among the heaviest drinkers in the world. Statistics in the newspaper Svenska Dagbladet January 7th 1995 shows Swedish alcohol consumption to be on only 21st place among a selection of the industrialized nations, with 6.1 (100% pure) liters of alcohol/year (after most Western European countries and USA). On the other hand we do (most of us do) still follow our old custom to drink only occasionally, but then with the goal to get drunk
The church, and its services, are felt more as a cultural heritage, than asa religious. As for instance at 1:st Sunday in Advent and at Christmas Eve –the two days at the year when the churches are filled.
Leading cultural institutions (in Stockholm) are the Swedish Royal Opera ;the Royal Dramatic Theater; the National Touring Theater; and the Swedish Academy, which awards the Nobel Prize for Literature.
